According to the leaked Snowden document, 1.8 million Yahoo users had their webcam images collected by the agency during just a six-month span shortly after Optic Nerve was first rolled out.
When reached for comment by the British paper, a representative for Yahoo said the GCHQ program as explained demonstrates a "Also, the fact that the Yahoo software allows more than one person to view a webcam stream without necessarily sending a reciprocal stream means that it appears sometimes to be used for broadcasting pornography.""GCHQ does not have the technical means to make sure no images of UK or US citizens are collected and stored by the system, and there are no restrictions under UK law to prevent Americans' images being accessed by British analysts without an individual warrant,""A key part of the protections that apply to both US persons and citizens of other countries is the mandate that information be in support of a valid foreign intelligence requirement, and comply with US Attorney General-approved procedures to protect privacy rights.
Those procedures govern the acquisition, use, and retention of information about US persons," Vines said.

Juventus 2006-2011
Allegri Era
Really underrated player. Plays normally as a sort of attacking midfielder, but can also more control the game in a more defensive position. His strenght and arial abilities are great, but he lacks pace and passing as an box-to-box, lacks passing/vision as an real '10. Type of player what is really good, but he hasn't a real position. I can't see him working in a 4-2-3-1, but in an 4-3-1-2 I can see him as lcm/rcm.
How serious are these links @Mark ?
He has goals and that's great but not sure about other skills yet... a lot of teams have been related with him
"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity". E.A.P.
"In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd" M.D.C.
His brother Vanja (GK) signed for Torino. Let's reunite the family.
Vanja Milinković or Vanja Savić?
Sell H16UAIN!!!
Both vanja milinkovic savic
Conte - Brought us back to the top of Italy
Allegri - Bringing us to the top of Europe
After failing to be awarded a UK work permit with English clubManchester United, he was released by the club in November 2015 and signed a contract with Lechia Gdańsk.
Vanja is going to come back to haunt union.
Conte - Brought us back to the top of Italy
Allegri - Bringing us to the top of Europe
I like his game and his personality.
BTW his keeper brother is highly rated at Torino.
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
so they are related after all...
It's not Just a stadium - It's our Home. It's not just a kit - It's our Skin. We're not only Eleven - We're Millions. We're not just a crowd - We're a family. It's not just 90 minutes - It's a lifetime. It's not just a passion - It's an emotion. It's not just a game - It's our life. Juventus is not just a club - It's a lifestyle!
I want SMS here. I still can't believe he's not playing in NT. Stupid Muslin.
I don't really like this guy. Looks to me he's quite overrated here
However he does look like a type of guy we'd buy in Juve. His price must be really high so I wouldn't even consider him.
Pirlo has no equal in Europe, Vidal is a champion. And Marchisio, though little noticed, when he is one hundred per cent [he too] is a champion.commentator: "...marchisio.... hardly mentioned his name tonight"
I've watched Tolisso maybe 7-8 times and while he made a good impression, I honestly believe SMS is a better player already and the gap between them will be even bigger in the future.
Probably the most overrated player on 'tuz.

Labour Group Leader Warren Morgan is to give city residents a chance to have their say on the future of Brighton and Hove. The party has today called on residents to get in touch with the party with their ideas on how to improve the City.
Commenting, Councillor Morgan said:
"Residents of Brighton and Hove know from first-hand experience what works in the City and what doesn't.
That's why we want to hear from them on how we can improve our City. Residents suggestions will help us further develop the policies we would bring forward as a Labour administration if we are elected to run the City in 2015."
The party has set up an email address - email@example.com, for residents to email in their submissions. These will be considered alongside those from party members, local businesses and partner organisations in the City as part of the ongoing manifesto process.

Sorority Recruitment Dress Code
Open House
This round is for the schools that have sorority housing. Typically, the Panhellenic Council will provide PNM's with a t-shirt to wear for this round. Pair this t-shirt with a cute pair of lace or patterned shorts. Don't be afraid to stand out a little! If PHC doesn't provide you with a t-shirt, wear a cute top with dark jeans or simple shorts. Avoid wearing anything that is too tight or cut too low—you are trying to make a good impression, save the scandalous outfits for parties and dates. . Wear something that you would wear if you were going out to dinner with your best friends. Keep the jewelry to a minimum—it can be distracting if you keep fiddling with your bracelets during conversation.
Welcome Rounds
This is the second round for most schools, but for some schools this is the very first round. Regardless, keep in mind that each round gets dressier. For this round, wear something that you would wear to a family brunch. Wear a cute skirt or nice shorts with a dressier top. Some girls might wear wedges, but it's still totally acceptable to wear sandals or flats to this round. You will probably be walking around a lot so wear comfortable shoes! Accessorize with a cute layered necklace and play up your makeup. Maybe try a cute pink lipstick shade!
Philanthropy Rounds
Philanthropy Rounds are a lot nicer than the previous round(s). Dress as if you were going on a nice dinner date. This could be a pretty sundress with wedges, or maybe even a cute romper. Some schools prefer that you wear a business casual outfit; so if that applies to you, try wearing a blazer over a simple dress with heels. Add on a cute statement necklace, layered necklace, or a monogrammed necklace if you have one!
Preference Rounds
This is the dressiest round of recruitment! Dress as if you were attending a wedding or rehearsal dinner. Wear a classy dress with your nicest pair of heels. Make sure your hair and makeup look fresh and classy. If you have any pearl jewelry, now is your chance to break them out. Try to look very polished and put together—this is the last time that you'll see the chapters before Bid Day and you'll want to leave with a good impression.
Keep in mind that these outfits might vary depending on the school that you are rushing at! Your recruitment counselors are more than willing to help you pick the perfect outfits, so reach out to them if you have any concerns. Wear something that you feel comfortable in that still shows off your personality. Finally, don't stress too much about what you are wearing; focus on your conversations and clicking with the house that you belong in! Good luck with recruitment!

Cough, Cough
I have been spending most of my time riding an easy chair lately. Rather than be out on the mountains in the midst of remarkably warm winter weather, I have been climbing...into an easy chair. Rather than huffing and puffing my way up the hill, I have coughed my way through several television shows on Netflix.
It was something going around the office and now everyone there seems to have it. It is a short illness followed by a lingering cough that won't seem to go away and doesn't allow you to get too much of a breadth.
I have had to make due with living vicariously through MTBR and a bit of new equipment. I have fooled around with a new rear tire and I have a new light, but I haven't been able to use either one yet.
More later...if I get better.

Profitless Prosperity | 2008
What's a semiconductor equipment company to do?
Dan O'Connor
Lack of profits in the semiconductor industry puts downward pressure on capital expenditures by the chip companies. This results in a decrease in market size for equipment and, of course, increased competition among equipment suppliers. Equipment suppliers will need to cut costs because of the shrinking market while still continuing to get new, differentiated products to market in order to compete. Essentially they will need to do more with fewer R&D dollars. This paper explores four areas of untapped potential R&D efficiencies for semiconductor equipment companies to explore.
Guidelines for Effective Software Test Automation in the Industrial Equipment Industry | 2008
Amit Shah, Tim Bosch
In highly competitive markets, under tight schedule and budget constraints, industrial equipment companies must maintain a high level of quality and meet performance and reliability demands. Manual based software testing approaches are inherently time consuming and tend to expend a significant portion of a product's development schedule and budget. Luckily, automated software testing can optimize the overall testing process, reduce time to market and improve quality. This white paper discusses the key steps for implementing an effective automated software testing program for industrial equipment software that will minimize risk, significantly increase the likelihood of success, and demonstrate a return on investment.
Product Strategy for Semiconductor Equipment | 2007
Making it Easier to Build the Right Product the Right Way
Charlie Alfred, Tim Bowe, Dan O'Connor
The keys to successful product development are the ability to build the right product, at the right time, for the right cost, using the right resources. This paper talks about identifying the keys to defining a product strategy destined to succeed. It outlines some tough questions that your organization must grapple with prior to establishing an effective product strategy. It also proposes actions that you must take if your organization is unable to answer any of these questions.
Drive Top-Line Growth in the Consolidating Semiconductor Market | 2006
Ron Rubbico, Tim Bowe, Norm Delisle, Hoyt Lougee
The massive semiconductor industry consolidation that occurred during the last decade, coupled with the successful introduction of 300mm wafer production equipment, has left the semi equipment producers chasing an increasingly smaller number of tool sales. As a result, the equipment industry has turned to mergers, acquisitions, and reorganizations to realign product strategies and provide the cost-efficient product offerings demanded by the rapidly consolidating supply chain. This paper examines the factors that are critical in aligning business and technology strategies to extract the most market leverage and top-line growth from combined or restructured product lines. The paper draws from approaches achieving success in other heavily consolidating industries and applies them to the unique challenges facing semi equipment manufacturers.
Real-time Software Development Principles for Embedded Devices | 2006
Karl Aeder
Many of today's embedded device control systems require some amount of deterministic software device control. By employing proven software architectural approaches, organizations can realize significant reductions in time to market and engineering costs across the initial development, enhancement, and maintenance of the software over its lifetime. This paper discusses the challenges associated with developing real-time control software, and makes both architecture and development process recommendations that can limit the risks associated with these challenges. A short case study is also included to show how these approaches were applied to a real world situation that resulted in commercial success.
Formulating Effective Strategies for Capital Equipment Product Software | 2005
Norm Delisle, David Jacques, Tim Bowe
One of the biggest challenges faced by manufacturers of capital equipment is ensuring alignment between their business, product and technology strategies. Misalignment often occurs during the earliest stages of product planning and development, and can manifest itself in the form of missed market windows and opportunities, lower revenues and profits, higher development and support costs, and lower overall customer satisfaction. This paper presents proven approaches for improving product strategy definition and technical strategy alignment for capital equipment product software. We describe tools and techniques that we use to help our customers develop software and products that are the best in their marketplace.
Are You Sitting on a Software Time Bomb? | 2005
Norm Delisle
The control software for capital equipment is large, complex and expensive to develop. Most equipment suppliers cannot afford to create entirely new software for each new product. Instead, an evolving and growing body of equipment control software is typically used across several product generations over a span of up to ten years or more. Ideally, you would like to be able to detect that your software is becoming fragile before any of these symptoms start to appear. This paper explores ways to recognize and recover from fragile legacy equipment software systems.
Software Reliability Engineering for Equipment Control Software | 2004
Norm Delisle
Production equipment is not keeping up with availability targets and there have been significant quality problems with the embedded controllers of production equipment. Compounding the situation is the fact that single points of failure now have increased impact in the highly integrated factory. This paper describes proven approaches for cost-effective achievement of much higher levels of software reliability. The techniques described here were developed over the past couple of decades to support the development of ultra-reliable software systems used in the telecommunications, aerospace and computer industries.
Moving Legacy C/C++ Semiconductor Control Systems to C# and .NET | 2004
Kevin Weber, Alan Blannin, Wayne Lobb
A familiar problem for many semiconductor tool manufacturers is an ongoing struggle with a large legacy C/C++ software system that was designed 10 to 15 years or more ago. Given the size of the legacy software system, a "big bang" redesign and rewrite from scratch could be highly risky, time consuming and expensive. A proven cost-effective approach to the problem is incremental migration, a stepwise process that delivers the new software in multiple releases, each of which comprises a fully working and shippable product. This paper discusses key technical challenges for incremental migration in .NET, including selecting the right component technology and enabling reliable interoperation of legacy C/C++ code with new C# code.
Management Techniques for Developing Highly Reliable Software | 2004
Wayne Lobb
It is well known that a software vendor's cost of fixing a failure in released software can be 100+ times as much as fixing the failure before shipment. In semiconductor fabs, downtime or offline time for a single piece of equipment can cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour. From a management point of view, preventing defects starts with establishing certain values and attitudes, and then following through consistently with techniques and actions that foster and reward success. This white paper discusses a number of hands-on management techniques that have been used successfully, over the span of ten to twenty-plus years, when developing low-defect software systems in the semiconductor industry.
How to Get Off the Software Resourcing Roller Coaster | 2004
Norm Delisle, Wayne Lobb, Tim Bowe
The Semiconductor Equipment Industry is off and running again and the increased demand for products are already starting to strain engineering resources. If you are considering software outsourcing – and you should be – then you should be thinking strategically and globally. The best outsourcing firms can outperform your internal software departments due to more experience in advanced software technologies, more skill at software architecture design and migration, much better testing and quality processes, and better overall track records at meeting budget and schedule. This executive brief looks at the pros and cons of three software resourcing options: hiring permanent staff, using temporary contractors, and strategic outsourcing.
The Fifth Risk | 2003
Software Development Strategies That Maximize ROI
Rob Firmin, Tim Bowe, Norm Delisle
This article is for those managers in the semi industry whose products depend upon software, whether for control systems, analytics or fab integration. Software development represents an ever-growing portion of R&D costs and an increasing source of problems. The dependence on software by semiconductor tool manufacturers and their customers represents a fundamental business risk. To maximize the ROI of software-dependent products, semi managers must understand basic principles of why software development succeeds or fails. In this article, we explain the characteristics and dynamics that distinguish best-practices teams from typical ones in terms of time, money, quality, and most of all, risk.
Preparing for the Upturn: A Guide for Semi Equipment Software Development | 2003
Norm Delisle, Bill Balicki
With the long-awaited upturn finally in sight, engineering groups are gearing up to deliver a new generation of products to the marketplace. Because of the severity of this downturn, however, it is more critical than ever that they execute with precision, developing the right product in the right timeframe. In order to be successful in this environment, a different approach will be needed; better analysis, planning and execution are an absolute requirement.This paper identifies methods for determining a software strategy that minimizes risk while, most importantly, maximizes return on investment.
Designing Product Line Architectures for Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment | 2003
Norm Delisle, Charlie Alfred
Semiconductor equipment manufacturers have been utilizing product line concepts informally for well over a decade. The typical semiconductor software control system is used in dozens of equipment product models – sometimes across multiple product lines. Of course, this software reuse strategy is not always entirely successful. This paper lays the groundwork for more effective reusable software strategies. We describe approaches for designing software frameworks that provide support for the required levels of variability and commonality for all of the products across a product line.
Accelerating Semi Equipment Development Using Emulators | 2003
Norm Delisle, Dan O'Connor
The use of emulators for hardware devices has quietly emerged as a standard strategy for equipment control software testing in the semi industry. However, there is very little information available on how to create effective emulators – especially for semi equipment. This paper describes an approach for designing effective emulators and illustrates key proven design principles.
Quantitative Metrics for the Development of Semiconductor System Software | 2002
How to Get Your Money's Worth
Norm Delisle, Wayne Lobb, Jay McGaffigan, Tim Bowe
Development of a new software platform for a semiconductor system is a major investment, easily exceeding $5M for many types of semiconductor manufacturing equipment or fab-level control systems. This white paper looks at quantitative industry benchmark metrics for software development and translates them into practical guidelines to help you structure your software development projects for minimum cost – and minimum risk. The metrics discussed in this paper can help lead to success in effective project planning for shortened development cycles, selecting the best software development team – exploring both internal and outsourcing options, and managing bottlenecks in the development effort in critical areas such as system integration and test.
Incrementally Migrating Semiconductor Equipment to a New Software Architecture | 2002
Norm Delisle, Dan O'Connor, Rick Flanders, Tim Bowe
Semiconductor equipment suppliers face a difficult decision when they decide to develop a new product: should they enhance existing equipment software or should they create a brand new software platform. The first step is to determine whether your software can and should be migrated. This paper describes an approach for incrementally migrating existing legacy equipment software to new software architecture. This approach reduces overall risk, reduces initial investment, and provides an extremely attractive return on investment.

This is what happens when I can't sleep. I think. I think about my day, and I replay events and situations over and over again. Then I hop on the computer and see the James Goodman epic poem of Selma and Rabbi Lipnick. And I think of Rabbi Lipnick. The first time I met him. His kindness as he approached me. A new face. Over time, his love of Neviyah. Always telling us that her eyes had old soul in them. Her reaching toward him. His taking her in his arms when he had no strength to do so.
Then, inevitably, I start thinking of him being gone which leads to thought of Arthur Greenberg. His last email. About his dog's romance with Susan Brown's dog. His last cd mix which suddenly I cannot find. His emails about Lila. How proud he was of her. Then I hop on Facebook and find her page. We are not FB friends but I can still see her wall, her photos. I wonder how she really is under all of that teenager stuff. I want her to be okay.
That takes me to my children. Neviyah. So sweet, sleeping next to me. Her feet resting on my stomach. I worry about her nightly nightmares of lions biting her, spilled juices, friends not sharing toys. Alia. My thoughtful but unable to cope firstborn. I want to wrap her in my arms and melt away her angst. She has started an endangered animals club at school, you know. Five minutes on Tuesdays at the water fountain after school. Serious stuff. The stuff of compassion. Chandler. So old, so young. The potential is there. He just keeps whizzing by it. There are those moments when I get a glimpse of his core, and I am impressed by it.
And then, when I get through these thoughts, and realize it is 4:38 a.m. and I have to be up in one and a half hours, ready to start the day, be productive, I make the decision to try again. Try again to sleep. Good night, Rabbi Lipnick. I miss you.

Mugshot of Shawn Tyson who killed the British pair
5:27am UK, Thursday March 29, 2012
The Florida school dropout who murdered British tourists James Kouzaris and James Cooper was picked up from prison by his mother just 24 hours before the killings.
Shawn Tyson was aged 16 when he gunned down the pair in a housing estate in the Newtown area of Sarasota last April.
Emotionless throughout the trial, Tyson watched proceedings without reacting to the evidence being given, often by his friends.
His mother Kenyatta Whitfield, a single mother-of-four, said she had believed her son had potential.
He excelled in sport, playing American football, and she said he could have been one of the best players in the area.
But all that changed when he dropped out of high school, and spent his time hanging out around the courts with older friends, where he was often seen with a gun.
Around his 16th birthday, Tyson had a tattoo put across his chest saying "savage".
Tyson had the word 'savage' tattooed across his chest on his 16th birthday
A day before he shot the Britons, he was released from prison after serving time for shooting at a car.
On the first day of his trial for the killings, Tyson turned 17. He is already a father himself but is unlikely to see his child as he starts a life behind bars.
His mother said she raised Tyson as a single parent, but added: "His father has always been in his life."
For Captain Paul Sutton, from Sarasota Police Department, Tyson's situation is all too common, and the product of a combination of factors in the teenager's upbringing and situation.
"Fortunately for us, murders are very rare so you can't just say that if you have this, this and this, there will always be a murder," he said.
"But there are some factors in this case that you find in a lot of crimes.
"Shawn was 15 or 16 years old at the time, he had already dropped out of school and certainly there is a correlation between a lack of education and the likelihood of being involved in crime.
"He did live in a low-income neighbourhood and he was being raised by a single parent – having one parent versus two certainly raises the chance of someone being involved in crime.
"Young people who do not continue their education, who drop out of school, are more likely to get involved in crime."
But he said that did not mean there was no hope for people in Tyson's situation.
"We see some of the elements potentially involved in this case, but none are a predictor.
"There are other people who are raised in this exact same neighbourhood under very similar circumstances and they came forward and provided information that led to Shawn's arrest."

In My Mailbox post! Hosted by The Story Siren, In My Mailbox is a chance to showcase new books, ones checked out from the library, bought, won or received for review. All summaries taken from either Goodreads or Amazon.
Got my copy of Life of Pi signed since Yann Martel was doing guest lectures and signings (Unfortunately I missed the guest lecture because I had a nigh class, but my sister still got the book signed for me!). I also got a few books from the library and a few for review from Netgalley (:
(01) Life of Pi by Yann Martel
"After the sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a wounded zebra, an orangutan—and a 450-pound royal bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and beloved works of fiction in recent years.
Thus begins Pi Patel's epic, 227-day voyage across the Pacific, and the powerful story of faith and survival at the heart of Life of Pi. Worn and scared, oscillating between hope and despair, Pi is witness to the playing out of the food chain, quite aware of his new position within it. When only the tiger is left of the seafaring menagerie, Pi realizes that his survival depends on his ability to assert his own will, and sets upon a grand and ordered scheme to keep from being Richard Parker's next meal."
I read this book back in high school and quite enjoyed it and than ended up taking again in University. I think the extra insight is a big reason why I enjoy this book so much. My sister got my book signed for me, so it says "To Cynthia, from your sweet sister, Yann Martel" haha. cute.
(01) Soulless: The Manga Vol 2 aka: Changeless by Gail Carriger & REM (illustrator)
"Alexia Tarabotti, the Lady Woolsey, awakens in the wee hours of the mid-afternoon to find her husband, who should be decently asleep like any normal werewolf, yelling at the top of his lungs. Then he disappears – leaving her to deal with a regiment of supernatural soldiers encamped on her doorstep, a plethora of exorcised ghosts, and an angry Queen Victoria. But Alexia is armed with her trusty parasol, the latest fashions, and an arsenal of biting civility. Even when her investigations take her to Scotland, the backwater of ugly waistcoats, she is prepared: upending werewolf pack dynamics as only the soulless can. She might even find time to track down her wayward husband, if she feels like it."
Volume 2 basically follows the second book in the series Changeless, if you're lazy and don't want to read the book (though I don't understand why you wouldn't b/c the series is fantastic but) the manga follows the book almost exactly, plus pretty art (:
(02) Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny Lawson
"Jenny Lawson realized that the most mortifying moments of our lives—the ones we'd like to pretend never happened—are in fact the ones that define us. In the #1 New York Times bestseller, Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson takes readers on a hilarious journey recalling her bizarre upbringing in rural Texas, her devastatingly awkward high school years, and her relationship with her long-suffering husband, Victor. Chapters include: "Stanley the Magical, Talking Squirrel"; "A Series of Angry Post-It Notes to My Husband"; "My Vagina Is Fine. Thanks for Asking"; "And Then I Snuck a Dead Cuban Alligator on an Airplane." Pictures with captions (no one would believe these things without proof) accompany the text"
So I don't normally read a lot of memoirs/non-fictions but this sounds pretty funny, and well I love the cover. Also I think everyone can relate with pretending something never happened, haha.
Netgalley (thanks to Penguin Canada and Harlequin KISS)
(01) The Gypsy King by Maureen Fergus
"A runaway slave with a shadowy past, sixteen-year-old Persephone has spent four long years toiling beneath the leering gaze of her despised owner and dreaming of a life where she is free to shape her own destiny. Then, one night, a chance encounter with a handsome chicken thief named Azriel changes her life forever.
Sold to him for a small bag of gold coins, Persephone soon discovers what she already suspected: namely, that Azriel is not what he seems. And when she realizes that he believes Persephone has a special destiny—she is determined to escape him and his impossibly broad shoulders.
But things are no longer as simple as they once were. Torn between her longing for freedom and her undeniable feelings for the handsome thief with the fast hands and the slow smile, Persephone faces the hardest choice she will ever have to make. And no one least of all her—could have imagined the shocking truth her decision will reveal."
Sounds like a pretty big adventure in the underworld (not actually the underworld, but the seedy underworld of thievery & whatnot)! While I hope there's a pretty cute romance in the book, I really want a good solid plot. I'm pretty curious as to what her special destiny is haha
(02) Waking Up Married by Mira Lyn Kelly
"Her first thought: "Who are you?"
It's the morning after her cousin's bachelorette party in Vegas and Megan Scott wakes up with the mother of all hangovers. Even worse, she's in a stranger's penthouse having woken up with something else as well—a funny, arrogant, sexy…husband!
Up until now, finding even a boyfriend had seemed impossible—been there, got the broken heart, sworn off men for good. Then a few martinis with Carter…no, Connor Reed and she's gone from first meet to marriage in one night!
Megan wants a lawyer. But Connor's shocking bombshell?
"I don't want a divorce.""
Basically it's like a contemporary marriage of (in)convenience and to boot sorta accidental. How would I resist. It's like a love story backwards haha. Hopefully it's a fun, cute read.

Different Types of Bets Explained
Beginner sports bettors are often surprised by the number of different bets that can be placed with bookmakers. You can wager on far more than simply which team will win a match, and if you want the best chance of success, then you really need to be familiar with all the different ways to bet.
When first starting out you should stick to the simpler wagers, but it's still worth learning about the others too. Even the more complicated ones aren't particularly difficult to understand, and you will soon want to start using them.
It's worth noting that there are different terms for the same bets in different parts of the world. There are also some types of bets that are very similar to each other, with just slight differences. This is where things become a little more complex, but we have explained everything you need to know below.
Win Bets & Moneyline Bets
These two terms basically mean the same thing. The term moneyline bet is used largely in America (where the moneyline odds format is used), while the term win bet is used in most other regions.
This is the most straightforward of all wagers, and it's used in almost every single sport you can gamble on. It's simply a wager on who you think is going to win a match, game, or event. So if, for example, you believed a football team was going to win an upcoming match, then you would place a win bet with that team as your selection.
We've explained more about this type of wager, and provided some examples, on our page for moneyline bets and win bets.
Totals Bets & Over/Under Bets
These are two terms which also mean the same thing. The term totals is typically used in the US and a few other countries, while over/under is more common in regions such as the United Kingdom and Europe.
This is a straightforward type of wager which is very popular. The idea is to predict whether a specified total (such as the total number of points scored by both teams in a match) will be higher or lower than the number set by a bookmaker. For example, if a bookmaker sets the total points to be scored at 43 in a football match, then you could wager on whether you believe the total will be greater than 43, or less than 43.
For more information on wagers of this type, please see the following page on understanding totals bets.
Point Spread & Handicap Betting
Point spread betting is very popular in the United States, particularly for football. It's used for several other sports too. Handicap betting is essentially the same, with just a couple of minor differences, and it's commonly used in the United Kingdom, Europe, and some other regions.
The basic principle for both these forms of betting is that bookmakers make theoretical adjustments in the number of points or goals scored, purely for the purposes of a wager. For example, in a football match between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos, the Broncos may be given three points with the Seahawks deducted three points.
In this scenario, a wager on Seahawks would only be successful if they won by more than three points. A wager on the Broncos would be successful if they either won the game, or lost by less than three points.
For a more detailed explanation, including some additional examples, please see our point spread & handicap bets article.
Futures & Outright Bets
Once again these are two terms for what is the same type of wager. A future, or outright, bet is typically placed on the winner of a tournament, league, or other competition. A simple example would be betting on the winner of the Super Bowl at the start of the NFL season. You can see more examples, and some additional information, on the following page: Futures and Outright Bets.
Proposition Bets & Specials
Proposition bets, often referred to as props or specials, are bets on a wide range of outcomes related to sports events. Typically, these are bets that don't have a direct outcome on the final results. In other words, you can win these bets without picking a winner of a game.
There are hundreds of different wagers of this type. Common examples include which team or player will score first during the match, the time of the first goal scored, the number of strikes thrown by a baseball pitcher, or the number of three pointers scored in basketball.
For a closer look at this type of betting, please view our article on prop bets and specials.
Parlays & Accumulators
Parlays and accumulators are more advanced wagers, but they are still relatively straightforward. They involve making multiple selections as part of a single bet, such as picking the winners of six different football matches for example. Wagers of this type are difficult to get right with any kind of consistency, and as such the potential payouts can be very high.
On the following pages we have explained about parlays and accumulators in more detail, and provided some examples.
Teasers & Pleasers
These are essentially parlays with a twist. They are most commonly offered by US facing bookmakers for football and basketball, and they are the kind of wagers that beginners should avoid until they have a bit of experience under their belt.
Teasers involve making multiple selections with a significant advantage; you can move the point spreads for the games you are betting on in your favor. Pleasers are basically the opposite. These also involve multiple selections, but you move the spreads out of your favor. They are therefore harder to win, and offer higher payouts.
We've provided more details on these two types of wager on the following pages.
If Bets & Reverse Bets
An if bet is two or more wagers joined together based on a qualifying clause. It could be considered as a safer alternative to the parlay, because it reduces the risk involved in making multiple selections. With wagers of this type you basically make subsequent wagers only if your initial wagers are successful. In an if bet with two selections, for example, the wager on your second selection would only be active if your first selection won.
A reverse bet effectively doubles up an if bet. The first part of the wager is an if bet on your first selection and then your second selection. The second part of the wager is an if bet on your second selection and then your first selection.
These are two of the more confusing wagers you can place, and the best way to explain them properly is using examples. We have done this on the following page: Explaining If Bets & Reverse Bets.
Permutation Betting
Permutation betting involves making multiple selections and placing multiple wagers on different combinations of those selections. A simple example is if you made three selections (we'll call them A, B, and C). A permutation bet here would contain three singles (one on each of A, B, and C), three doubles (one on each of A and B, B and C, and A and C), and one treble (on A, B, and C).
This is another complicated form of betting which is best explained using examples. Please see the following page for more information.

Believe it or not, the 2012 National Sales Awards at Grosvenor House in London are in their sixteenth year. Over this time, the event has educated businesses about the qualities, characteristics and attitudes possessed by the country's best sales people and this year will be no exception.
As the headline sponsor at the event, Huthwaite will instigate thought-provoking discussion on the current wave of changing ideas about sales relationships and best practice. While the awards have been instrumental in underlining the professionalism of today's sales teams, it is critical that as professionals we welcome robust debate surrounding the difficult key issues our industry faces.
It's true that the way buyers buy is changing fast. The question is, how do sellers react? There is certainly a spike at the moment in the level of debate within the community about the most effective approaches. It is well known that corporations don't buy high value solutions purely on the back of a good relationship. However, this doesn't mean that those relationships are no longer important to both sides, provided they bring real value. Ultimately, the sale depends on how skilled the seller is at helping the buyer to define and realise that value, not on some abstract notion of value cooked up by product or solution designers, marketing departments or even sales people in isolation.
Professionals may feel the need to question long-held views and, at such a time of change, to try to turn accepted practice on its head by suggesting that buyers always need to be challenged and disrupted. Yet, continuing Huthwaite research and the first hand evidence of the 14,000 real life salespeople we train every year, show that successful sellers must be thought-provoking and consultative but not assumptive or prescriptive. Crucially, it isn't just sellers supporting this argument; it's the people who really matter most – the buyers.
It is vital that at the event, the sales professionals who are representing the best in the industry, setting industry standards and leading the way to creating a more solid economy, take the time to question changing ideas about sales relationships, in order to continue to deliver the best results.
The shortlist for this year's NSA event comprises some of Britain's most high profile businesses, including BSKyB, Virgin Media, LivingSocial and Royal Mail. As a result, there certainly won't be a shortage of finalists to ask about their experiences to further broaden and deepen our research – of which the results will undoubtedly provoke, further sales change debates, which really can make a difference to how sales relationships are managed.

Good businesses with problems should be reorganised without bankruptcy
Changes in international trade, fluctuations in the economic climate, changes in the structure of industries, shrinking profit margins, unforeseen cost increases – these are just a few of the factors that may impact the profitability of a business. Difficulties in meeting financial commitments and the threat of insolvency can quickly loom on the horizon.
Ackordscentralen's core service is to help good businesses return to profitability if possible – or at least alleviate the financial repercussions of a bankruptcy. When help is sought in time, an upswing in profitability can often be achieved by selling parts of the business or business assets, or by external financing following reorganisation.
So waste no time.
Contacting us early on may mean the difference between success and failure.

Recently my Hubby and I made a trip up North to do some house hunting. We knew it would be a very fast paced trip, as we would only be in town for about 24 hours.
That being said, my son decided he would rather stay home. So lucky for us, my parents offered to come down and stay with him while we were gone. My son was thrilled of course and they had a blast and he got all the love and spoiling that only grandparents can give! :)
But, when I arrived home I had the greatest surprise waiting for me! My Mom and Son made me an adorable Halloween art piece that I just LOVE!!!
It is made with felt and is stretched over wooden stretcher bars. My Son cut out all the letters and hand stitched it as well. It is so perfect for me and fits beautifully over our stove. I am so grateful to my Mom for working on this with him!!

Carpe Diem 974 Cyprus
Snow on an island in the Mediterranean feels more like an oxymora than a reality. Surely Japan has snow but isn't it further north? Yes, part of Japan is further north. It must be the elevation, 1,952 m (6,404 ft). According to Wikipedia, "Cyprus has the warmest climate and warmest winters in the Mediterranean part of the European Union." It still has winter temperatures in the mountains to maintain 4 ski lifts. One just has to love the whole creation and climate thing..... What fun.

2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo
Former owners of the Veloster can confirm there are no many cars that can offer impression you feel with Hyundai's car. However, battle with competition in sport class is always tough and constant improvement, year after year, model after model is at must. So, for 2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo we expect something big, something special. Many changes are announced. New vehicle gets revisited exterior look, as well as upgrades on interior, infotainment and safety systems and performance.
2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo redesign
There is no much info about new 2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo. Most things we know, we found on spy shot photos made during testing of the sport car. Many details could be seen, but on the other side, heavy camouflage kept part of the car exterior secured from the eyes of enthusiasts. Except engine, new grille and lights are expected for 2016 Veloster Turbo. Body will be revisited, and with some new lines, car is more attractive and aggressive. Similar styling has been seen on Genesis, but new Veloster is more modern and somehow rigid.
2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo engine
Engine choice is confidential. Works on powertrain are in final stage, but we still don't know if engineers will carry over old engine with modification, or 2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo gets brand new drivetrain. Whatever is placed under the hood of new Veloster, it must be improved from lst model, but still has a task to keep its excellent performance and handling. Current 1.6-l T-GDi Gamma could be improved to produce more power.
Expect higher output than 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. Transmission system is determined to be dual clutch six-speed EcoShift. Current model's 26/35 mpg rate is about to be forgiven, since 2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo will top that with new engine. Better performance are locked down with new suspension pack, higher spring rates and better brakes.
2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo price
Hyundai is trying to keep all its lovers by holding the same price for 2016 Veloster Turbo as for previous model. Price tag of around $18.000 will be carried over, and car should appear on markets in first half of 2015.

The 2018 Cobargo Show senior showgirl, dairy hand Sally Hoyer, took to the microphone at Saturday's official opening and encouraged other women in the area to enter.
"I want to encourage any other girl that would like to be a showgirl to get involved," she said. "Get in and have a go. You could go anywhere with it."
The ex-Narooma High School student said the experience had helped to build her confidence and had also inspired her to dream big. "I met previous winners at the presentation who had won all these scholarships," she said.
Ms Hoyer is also inspired by other women in the dairy industry who are often under-recognised. This included women working in the industry as well as all the women who support their husbands.
"Women are so important," she said. "There needs to be a bigger focus on women in the industry."
Ms Hoyer will now compete in the zone three finals in Bungendore in March.

Camera tips and tricks to take the most spectacular photos of the Northern Lights
Even without the aurora borealis, northern Norway is an extraordinary destination for photographers.
The landscapes of fjords, valleys and mountains are epic and often untouched. Where there is evidence of civilisation, the wooden homes and fishing boats blend harmoniously with nature.
It's easy to get great photos of these scenes – but capturing the Northern Lights successfully is more of a challenge.
You simply won't get very good results trying to use a phone or tablet, however sophisticated, so take a "proper" camera.
Perhaps the best piece of advice is to take your camera's instruction book with you. Many models have settings that can be accessed through the menu that can considerably enhance night photos.
Technical considerations
Ideally your camera should have manual controls so you can adjust the focus, shutter speed and lens aperture yourself.
However, only more expensive cameras have these facilities, so some of the following advice involves making the best of more simple cameras.
Because the camera's shutter needs to be open for several seconds, a tripod is perfect, though it may not be practical to take one in your aircraft luggage. You could buy a miniature tripod with clamp-style legs on which to rest the camera.
If your camera has interchangeable lenses, go for the widest. The aurora can spread over a huge area of sky so a lens of 20mm to 28mm (for a full-frame sensor) is a good choice. Otherwise, set your lens to the widest zoom setting.
Always switch off the autofocus if possible and set the camera to infinity. Try some test photos in daylight to ensure the horizon is in sharp focus.
Now to the aperture. The Northern Lights may appear bright to your eyes, but their level of illumination is actually quite low.
So, if your camera has the facility, set the lens aperture to the fully open position (but not wider than f/2.8).
Next, set the ISO – the image sensor's sensitivity rating. Start with about 800 but be prepared to increase.
Superior cameras can go way beyond this without adversely affecting picture quality.
The shutter speed is most important, working in conjunction with the lens aperture and the ISO setting. It's all about experimentation.
If your camera has the capability, start with a speed of 10 seconds. If your images look too dark, increase to 20 seconds.
Still too dark? Increase the ISO setting. If the pictures are too light, try five seconds' exposure.
Take lots of pictures – you can always delete the failures – and make sure the camera is kept as still as possible.
Using the self-timer will help avoid jogging which causes blur. Finally, take a spare battery and keep it in an inside pocket as the cold will drain its power.
Composition and locations
Although pointing your camera directly at the display can give colourful photos, it's usually best to include something in the foreground for a sense of perspective and scale, even if it appears in silhouette.
The snowy peaks of mountains work well, as do the twinkling lights of a distant village – not too close or the artificial illumination will "drown out" the delicate aurora.
Conifer trees also make good subjects, as do mountain huts. More experienced photographers could try using fill-in flash, balanced with the long exposure, to illuminate friends watching the display.
If you are shooting the Lights across a fjord or lake, you could capture their reflection in the water for extra drama.
Away from the towns, most locations in northern Norway will provide suitable scenery and the necessary dark skies.
Enthusiasts may head for the sharp peaks of the Lofoten Islands or the giant panorama from the North Cape, though the mountains and valleys close to Tromsø, Bodø and Alta offer inspiring landscapes too.
Finally, most cameras have a video setting and although results may be mixed, it is worth taking a few clips to see what happens.
See the lights in northern Norway
Northern Norway is one of the best places in the world to see the aurora borealis.
Easy to reach from the UK, with direct flights with Norwegian, you can get close to nature, see wonderful wildlife and experience vibrant city life.
